The Swedish American Historical Society invites submissions to Swedish-American Studies, Volume 76 (2025), which will be due by 1 October 2024. Swedish-American Studies is a peer-reviewed academic journal published once a year through the University of Minnesota Press (formerly the Swedish-American Historical Quarterly).
We invite submissions of article-length manuscripts (6,000-10,000 words) that advance the understanding of North American immigration history with emphasis on the exchange of people and ideas between Sweden and the United States, as well as the ongoing history of relations between Sweden and the United States. Comparative and interdisciplinary topics are welcome and encouraged.
Since 1950 the journal has been published by the Swedish-American Historical Society based at North Park University in Chicago. The society also maintains its archives as part of the Swedish-American Archives of Greater Chicago, housed at the Paul and Bernice Brandel Library at North Park, under the direction of archivist Andy Meyer. The society also supports research through three funds:
Nils William and Dagmar Olsson Research Fund – providing grants to defray expenses for original research in Swedish-American history
Franklin D. Scott Prize – honoring the best article by a writer previously unpublished in the journal
Emerging Scholars Prize – recognizing the best article among those submitted by currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students, all of whom receive a one-year society membership.
Swedish-American Studies also includes book reviews (800-1,200 words), and readers who know of a book they would like to see reviewed, or who would themselves like to write a book review, are also invited to contact associate editor Adam Hjorthén.
